Ghost from the Call of Duty Modern Warfare series is so famous because of his cold personality.
With the release of the remaster of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, fans have been treated to the return of Ghost. He made his debut in the original Modern Warfare 2 series and has since become a fan-favorite character. However, it has many scratching their heads, wondering why this character has attracted so much popularity since he arrived in the series.
Who is Ghost in the Call of Duty series?
Ghost - or, to give him his full name, Simon Riley - is one of history's most recognizable Call of Duty characters. He's a commanding, enigmatic figure with an almost fifteen-year career who has appeared in some of the finest Call of Duty games.
One of the most iconic scenes for which Ghost is actually known is from the ending scene of the original Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. He was seen to be the sidekick of the main protagonist, Captain Soap McTavish from Task Force 141 throughout the story of the game.
Why is Call of Duty Ghost so famous?
He's established himself as one of the finest characters in the franchise because of his part in the Modern Warfare trilogy. Simon "Ghost" Riley debuted in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Although he wasn't the main character, Ghost was your right-hand guy for most of the game.
The British Special Forces officer was noted for wearing a skull design mask that never left his face. He was the protagonist's sidekick in the games. On the surface, he appears to be a cold-hearted killer, yet he is a wonderful friend to those who know him.
How was Ghost’s life in the Call of Duty lore?
Simon “Ghost” Riley was born in Manchester, England and he was an apprentice butcher until the September 11 attacks, when he joined the military. If the September 11 attacks occurred in 2001, Riley would have been between 16 and 18. Given that Modern Warfare II takes place in 2022, his age may be approximately 39 - 41, which seems reasonable given his track record.
However, in Modern Warfare 3, set in 2016, Simon 'Ghost' Riley's dog tags may be recovered in Kill Confirmed mode. Surprisingly, the date of birth on those dog tags is 2011, while the game was released in 2016. This could have been a significant easter egg in the original Modern Warfare series.
